Andrew Herscher is a co-founding member of a series of militant research collaboratives including the Commune Research Commune, the We the People of Detroit Community Research Collective, and Detroit Resists, which gained widespread notoriety for its digital occupation of the U.S. Pavilion at the 2016 Venice Biennale of Architecture.
